If varnish was used at the beginning, it is the best choice to continue to use varnish, because varnish can show beautiful wood grain. However, if blended oil was used at the beginning, nitro-ready mixed paint or ready mixed paint alkyd would have a good covering effect and rich color choices.

Sticker making steps

The construction steps of furniture renovation stickers include preparing furniture, preparing stickers, scraping off old paint, cleaning and drying furniture, stickers and so on. Although the sticker is simple, the preliminary work must be done well, and the choice of sticker should also match the furniture style.

Treatment of curved surfaces and sculptures

When renovating old furniture, curved surfaces and carvings should be treated with special care to avoid scratching the wood.
